7* Science R4

DrZola

Assuming high sig for all (max where indicated), who’s your pick for R4 and why?

Sir_Globalot

Silk

All great choices, but Silk's a little overpowered for so much content that you'll end up using her for nearly everything.

Friendly001

Cage

You already know.

Herbal_Taxman

Photon

Most versatile two way champ, answers so many different problems. Doesn’t have any rebalancing risk hanging over her, unlike Nefaria

kvirr

I’d wait to see if Nef gets rebalanced, if he does, I’d go void

Just imagine how damn cool having r4 void as your top champion will be

Oakenshield

Ham

My brain would say dual threat (Ham, Photon) but my heart would probably say Silk.

I forgot about Nefaria rebalance, and this is a good strategy.

Also, @Oakenshield my immediate preference is Silk (who does so much work for me), but she’s an instaban at R4 in BGs. Pretty sure I can’t make it without her 😬

Ham

I chose Ham myself. Silk is enough of a cannon at R3. Photon would be another excellent choice, and Luke Cage probably needs it the most. You cannot go wrong with the pig though.

Dr. Zola

Yes, great point. Probably depends on game mode preference - I use her so much in non BGs content that I’d be tempted to take her up even though I’d lose her in BGs. I’ll freely admit BGs isn’t that much of a priority for me - I get to GC and then do the bare minimum. I don’t know - if I pull science I might do Ham as well as he is less likely to be banned and is also a beast.

At r4 you wont have to fight photon even if they ban her

Nefaria (max)

Waiting for his overdue balance update to come out, but if he's in the clear I will be taking Nefaria to R4 with my gem.

Ham or silk. Both are awesome and a lot of fun to play

This is my precise argument for R4 Photon.

I’d Ham even though I’m jewish.

Just kidding, it’s definitely Silk.

Ironwarrior

Ham

I'm ashamed if how less votes ham has

Onepieceisnotreal

Nefaria (max)

I have him on both my account at r3.. amount of fights he can do is insane.
Pretty much immune to all debuffs ( except poison).
High Physical and energy resistance.
Can perform well almost against all meta defenders( except bullseye).
Insane regen, regen control, power gain, power control.

My personal opinion he is the best science champ.

May be wait till rebalancing info.

Nefaria (max)

I forgot the damage part..

Photon

I have a r4 photon. If you are battlegrounds and alliance war focused, there's pretty much no debate that Photon is your best investment. Most science champs are either good on attack or defense. Photon is great on both. Many people will disagree with this post for all the wrong reasons. To those people, I love silk and ham, and I wanted one of them to be my first r4. However, I knew Photon was the better investment, whereas the other two would be champs I would rank up for fun. If you're not committed to an alliance and/or battlegrounds, it doesn't matter who you rank up.

Dr. Zola

I’d choose Photon if I didn’t choose Silk (don’t have Nefaria), but I think Silk is far less likely to be banned than Photon. Photon is possibly the top dual threat in the game.

There’s no wrong and right answer. Rank up who your favorite is. All of them are legit rank ups. You should decide.

I only have ham out of those

BuggyDClown

Void (max)

His Damage is most unique and that extra attack rating will make it more sweet
He is already tanky and this will make him more tanky

In Bgs, one slip up will cost a lot imo against a r4 Void.

Final decision: Photon.

It wasn’t easy. Love all of those science champs.
